COlOred Society Notes.

The revival meetings inaugurated by Rev.
Campbell at the NJ. E. church on the 9th
1nst.,are still in progress. The interest in the
meetings is becoming more and more in
tense as they progress. Rev. Campbell is a
natural orator and is well versed in the
Scripture. He breaches the unadulterated
word. In fact, his preaching partakes of the
Sam Jones STYLE and by his inyincible argu-
ments he has caused a great stir in the camp
Of sin and satan. Several have already
made profession of faith, and others are
seeking His love TO know. The hymns sung
by Rev. Campbell are mostly from Plantation
Melodies by Marshall w. Taylor, d. d. Rev.
Taylor is the editor of the Southeastern
Chrtsttcn Adc0cate, one of the official organs
of the Northern Methodist church. 1t may
be proper TO say just here that Rev. Camp
bell is not of the A. NJ. E. Church as was
stated, by mistake, in Colored Notes of
recent date. The A. NJ. E. Church is wholly
4 colored organization, with nine bishops
and a membership of 10000, while the Color.
ed NJ. e. Church is a branch of the Northern
Methodist church, with a membership of
over 200 900.
The Sabbath School was Ieorganized at

Differences of Opinion.

The Sun says, take the taxes off from
whisky and make it cheap. The Star
says, take the tax off from coal and
make it cheap.
The Nua says, take the tax off from
tobacco. The Star says, take it of
from wool.
The Sun says, do away with the tax.
es which the liquor and tobacco dealers
pay. The Star says, do away with the
taxes that the children and women
pay.
Children do not drink whisky, nor
do women drink much of it. The re-
peal of the whisky tax will not help
any woman who tolls day after day to
feed and warm her children. But if
coal is chs APP every woman and child
in the land will be comfortable.
Children do not smoke, nor do wom-
en- smoke much. The repeal of the to-
bacco tax will not help the shivering
mother nor the babe that sleeps under
the blanket that she has knitted. But
if wool is cheap every mother and
babe in the land may be well covered.
The Star thinks that well-ripened
whisky is good when drank in moo err
alton. And it is fine thing to think
that the cheering glass helps to support
the government. A Democrat is al
ways willing to pay taxes when he
drinks glass of whisky.
The Star thinks that full favored to-
bacco is great solace. And it is fine
thing to think that every puff helps
support the government. A Demo-
crat is always willing to pay taxes
when the comforting fumes of tobacco
mount to his brain.
The San calls the whisky and tobac-
co taxes war taxes. Are taxes upon
coal and wool peace taxes? We should
call them taxes that wage constant
war upon the comfort of homes, upon
the barbor of industry, and upon the
earnings of the poor.
Taxes upon whisky and tobacco are
voluntary taxes. No one need pay any
of them. But taxes upon coal and
wonl are as memorable as fate. No one
can escape them.
Is it possible that any one can be
found who will take taxes off from
whisky aud tobacco and leave them
upon coal and wool? Yes; the San is
sucI, an one. But then the Sun is not
a good thing to look at-N. Y. s. tar.
